If you're looking for the best birthday greeting for your friend, you've come to the right place!
We know it can be difficult to make the right birthday greeting for a good friend, since our friends are often the people who mean the most to us. Therefore, there is a lot of thought behind it; how should it be structured, what should be said, and often we also feel that it should be absolutely perfect. All we can say is - it doesn't need that at all (in fact, preferably not!). A birthday greeting to a friend in the traditional sense is written on a nice card, and here there can be a lot of people who have challenges with:
1) One's handwriting. We here at Unmute all have very ugly handwriting, and therefore we don't feel that we are particularly good at writing birthday cards , because yes, can the recipient even read what we have written? We can also get the feeling that the recipient thinks we haven't bothered if the handwriting isn't very neat - but we have.
2) It can be difficult to express oneself in writing, and there are many who struggle to articulate themselves. It doesn't necessarily have to be because you have difficulty spelling, but how do you get all the thoughts and words that you want to say to your friend to be formulated in writing? When it's in writing, it's just more important that punctuation and structure play - it doesn't have to be in the spoken language. So how do we solve it and make it easier and more fun to make a birthday greeting for your friend?
YES, you are doing an Unmute!
An Unmute, you're probably thinking, what exactly is Søren?
Yes, an Unmute is sound and image combined in a frame made of 98% recycled plastic collected from the world's oceans. So instead of making a traditional birthday card , why not try making a birthday greeting for your friend through an Unmute?
If you need some inspiration, here we give you 5 tips that may make it easier for you to make your birthday greeting for your friend
1) Your birthday greeting to your friend doesn't have to be perfect!
We've experienced it so many times before, we get messages from people who don't quite know how to structure and start their Unmutes, because it has to be perfect! To that we always answer "what would you be happy about yourself? An Unmute that seems almost mechanical and rehearsed or a message straight from the heart?" The answer is always unequivocal "we want something that comes straight from the heart". And it's not because what comes from the heart can't be structured and have a huge effect, the good thing about it is just that it doesn't have to.2) If your friend were to make a greeting for you...
Yes, it may sound a bit strange, but try to put yourself in your friend's shoes and then look at you. What would you be happy that your friend had done for you? What subjects would he like to touch on, is there a funny anecdote, an event or what do you feel that will hit you in the heart the most? Since they are usually not that different, there is a good chance that your friend will also be happy if you touch on some of these topics. Just a little tip.
3) Use your sense of humor - we're sure your friend will love it!
Humor is often the way to a friend's heart, and if you and your friend have a sense of humor (and we think you certainly do), then finally use it in your birthday greeting. Humor often helps loosen things up, and it will most likely make it easier to make your birthday greeting for your friend, as it doesn't all have to be so perfect and serious. Bring a smile to your friend's face and you're guaranteed to make the best birthday greeting he or she has ever received!
4) Your friend and you are guaranteed to have some good memories together.
Your friend and you have definitely been through a lot together, both good and bad, and if there's anything that can bring out emotions, it's the past. Especially if you have shared the memory with your friend. I think you and your friend have had a lot of good times together, so why not produce one of these and tell your friend how much you care about him or her. It will most likely hit your friend's heart.
5) Can you sing a little birthday greeting?
It can be trespassing, anxiety-provoking and whatever other words we have for something that we feel can be really embarrassing. But wouldn't it be fun if you surprised your friend with a birthday song? We believe in you, and are sure that if you complete your song, it will be something you can look back on and smile about forever. And yes, your friend can then play your birthday greeting over and over ;).Are you ready to make your birthday greeting for friend? If so, make your birthday greeting here!
